His Release from Prison. On Saturday morning Passmore Williamson appeared in the, United States : District Court in Philadelphia, accompanied by MeSsrs. : Mar• edit!), Gilpin 11114 Hopper, his counsel, and of fered a petition, in which be expressed his willingness to purge himself of the contempt in the Wheeler slave case, for which, he was imprisoned in July last. Judge Kane received the petition, granted the prayer and required Williamson to affirm to what he had to say in reply to the interrogatories of the court. Car tain interrogatories were then propounded to him by Mr. Vandyke, the District Attorney, to which he replied : "I did not seek to obey the writ by produ cing the persons therein mentioned before the court, bee;nuse I had not ,at the time of the service of the writ, the poWer over, the custo dy or control of them, and therefore it was im possible for me to do so. I first heard of the writ of habeas corpus on Friday July 20, be tween 1. slid 2 o'clock A. M. on my return from Harrisburg. After breakfast, about .9 o'clock, I went from my house to Mr Hopper's office, when and where the return was prepar ed. "At 10 o'clock I came into court as com mended by the Writ. 1 sought to obey the writ by answering it truly; the parties not being in my possession or control, it was impossible for me to obey the writ by produ cing them. Since the service of the service of the writ I have not had the custody, pos session or power over them ; nor have I knOWn where they were except from common rumor, or newspaper reports in regard to their pub lic appearance id the city or elsswhere " Some discussion arose between the District Attorney and tlke counsel of Mr iVilliamson. Vandyko.contended that the reply of the de fendant was evasive and contradictory. The Judge said the difficulty, be thought, could be •easily ; overcome by amending the answer, and at the suggestion of the court it was amended iu tho following manner:: . did not seek to obey, tbe•writ by produ. cing tlie:perSons in the writ mentioned before . this court.' did not seek because I verily believe that it was entirely•impoSsible for ine to.produce the said persotts,timnbly.to . „the •9174114111:34 F °pile court." This, answer was then accepted by the'oettrt and ordered 'filed. udge . S.ane then said—sorhe contqmptl is now regarded ps purged, ,and the party is re leased ,from custody. He is now reinstated to the:PoSidon lio occupied before the con tempt 'was cortiniitted. Mr..Williainson is now before Inc on the return to the writ." Mr, Vaudyke then arose and addressed the court stating that a nolle pros. had been entered in the cafe in this court, but that he had, on behalf of Mr. Wheeler, entered a suit for damages in the IL S. Circuit Court, Judge Kane thereupon. discharged Williamson from custody. He was immediately surrounded and heartily congratulated by his friends.— Ile ie said to lock exceedingly well.

Sept 12, 1855. Gentlemen—your letter of invitation, re questing my attendance at the celebration of the Battle of King's Mountain, has been re ceived. It will be altogether 'inconvenient to me to be present on that occasion. I have certain duties, both private and public, to discharge at home, The battle of King'tt Mountain was fought Ity,the Whigs under the lead of Campbell, McDowell, Shelby, .Sevier and Williams, against the forces under the gallant Ferguson. We have a similar foe to encounter in Kansas, oh the first Monday in October next—the 'border ruffians,' such as fought with McDowell, Shelby, &c., on the one hand, and the abolitionists, such men as fought with Ferguson, on the other. We (the 'border ruffians') have the whole power of the Northern States to contend with, single hand ed and alone, without assistance and almost without sympathy from any quarter; yet we are undismayed. Thus far have wo been vic torious, and, with the help of God, we will still continue to conquer. Gentlemen, I thank you for the kind ex pression in the concluding paragraph of your letter—•three cheers for Atchison and Kan sas.' I have reed this paragraph t t o sundry of the 'border ruffians,' and their eyes sparkle; their arms are nerved. We have been acting on the defence altogether. Tlfe contest with us is one of life and death, and it will be so with, you and your institution if we fail. At chison, Stringfellow and the 'border ruffians' of Missouri fill a column •of each Abolition paper published in the North ; abuse most foul, and falsehood unblushing, is poured out upon us; and yet we have no advocate in the Southern press, and yet we receive no assis tanee .trom the Southern States. But the time will - shortly come, when thrir'assistance must and will be rendered. The' stake the 'border ruffians' are playing for is a mighty one. If Kansas is abotitionized Missouri ceases to be a slave State, and New Mexico becomes a free State California remains a free, State ; but if we secure Kansas as a slave Stith Mis• souri is secure ; New Mexico 'and Southern California, if nut ail of it, become slave States. Inn word, the prosperity or the ruin of the whole South depends on the Kansas Struggle. Your obUdient servant. This is quite characteristic, and shows the true character of David R.

'~ir~ r ~:~. `f'i i~ y,.fi'~c LETTER 'ROM D. R. ATCHISON ruonit CALIFORNIA. The news it few days since telegraphed over the country, from the City of Washington, with a great flourish of trumpets, that Lieut. Gen. Scott's claim for services had been al lowed, turns out to he a mistake. The shad dow of justice has been awarded, but the substance denied; - the word of promise kept to the ear, but broken to the hope. The At torney General has fully decided in the Gen eral's favor the principle of the' law. The Secretary of War, however, had Carefully reserved to himself the interpretation and' the adjustment, and has used the authority thus reserved to defeat the claim almost entirely. The history of the case is given as follow by the New York Express, where the gallant Old Hero has his present head quarters, end we have no doubt is a correct and re liable statement : Gen Scott submitted his accounts in detail for the pay, rations, and other allowances of a Lieutenant General basing his claim on the alleged revival of the law of 1798, in so far as concerned the incidents of that grade, by the ~niut resolution of 1855, requesting that, if his accounts were objected to, they should be referred to the Attorney General for his de cision, as the judicial officer of the Executive Government, Secretary Davis laid before the Attorney General for his opinion, not the ac counts, as requested, not the question what was due, but the simple question whether any law existed fixing the pay and allowances of a Lieutenant General) The Attorney General, in reply„decides fully in favor of General Scott,-that such law does exist in the act of 1798, but stops here, saying truly that he is necessarily precluded by the limited terms of the question submitted, and by the express reservation of the Secretary of War, from go t • mg further into the case. Admitting the principle laid down by the Attorney General, the Administration has taken upon itself to interpret all questions of pay and allowance under the law, and to adjust the accounts according to their own views. The result is, that of the Generals claim they have admitted to his credit only a portion of less than one• third. llowever much regret may be felt at learning the disappointment of the veteran soldier, our regret must he increased by the reflection that his accounts have not been al lowed to go, es he requested, to the arbitra ment of the laW officers of the Government.— , We trust,:and are inclined to believe, that the. GenerskWill ticif stoop to accept-a pittaire so • ''far,bolow hie claims; his merits, , the intention of the law, • and the wishes of ; the people, awarded under such circumstances: • D. R. ATCHISON The conduct of the Secretary of War is characteristio of the conceited egotist who now holds that office. We have no doubt, however, that justice will be done to General Scott, and that before long, and hope the're fore, be will reject the pittance reluciantly doled out to him by Jefferson Davis. Accord ing to the detailed statement in the Washing ton Star, the amount so .. .Ming to Lieut. Gen. Scott, from Mach7lB47, is $81,092, but from this is to be deducted his pay as Major General, amounting to $49,782 OS, leaving still duo him $31,304 92. The final award made to him, however, by the administration is only. $10,405 66. lIANQOR, A et There is considers ble. excitement in our community in conse quence of the discovery that some of the liq uors seized under process of law are missing from the depository, and from the fact that the houses of the members of police have been searched, without any considerable quantities of liquor being found.

Louis,—Nov. 2.—A horrible accident oc curred this morning. I sendiou hastily all the particulars received. At least five hun dred persons have been killed and wounded. A train of eleven ears started, this morning, on the Pdcific Railroad, bearing the excurtiou ists to the celebrated opening of the road at Jefferson city. The excursionists reached the Gasconade river bridge, when the bridge gave way, and ten cars with their living freight were precipitated into the river. There were without doubt, about seven hundred persons in these cars, and not more than two hundred escaped uninjured. The following persons are known to be among the dead : Thomas Gray, 'Capt. O'Flaherty. E. C. Blackburn. Henry Chouteau, Rev. Dr Bul lard, Mr. Mott (Representative,) Mr, McCul lough (Representative,) Capt. C. Case, C. Yoste, Thomas U. O'Suliyun (Chief Engineer of the road.) B. B Daytogi, Mann Butler, Jos. Harris, Mr. Chappell, George Eboril. The names of the others have not been as. '6ertainell. The greatest excitement prevails here.. A large number of the wounded have "nitiVedirrthitt;a4,.aed are receiving medical gittenclatioe.:, . . , • • • . Tlie St. Louis papers of Friday bring forth.. or accounts of the terrible :disaster to the ex .cursion ttain on the Pacific Railroad. It ap.. pears the train had on board about 600 or 700 persons including two military companies, the St. Louis Greys and National Guards, and ma. ny prominent citizens" of St Louis. The bridge —3O feet high—when it gave way, took down the locomotive tender and eleven cars ; and it is now said the river, into which they were precipitated.'had a depth of 20 feet of water, at that point. Fortunately before attempting to cross the bridge. some 150 of the passen gers got out in order to inspect the structure, and observekthe trial of the heavy train upon the timbers. These, it is presumed, escaped, but the papers before us are without all the particulars. Dootors McDowell and McPherson were for tunately among the guests, and gave their best skill to the alleviation of the wretched sufferers. It was impossible, however, for them to apply bandages and reset limbs under the circumstances. The accident ocourred whore no house is to bo seen—'-in a wild forest —.and during that time a heavy storm of rain, accompanied with lightning and thunder of the most vivid description, fell without inter mission. Couriers were dispatched forthwith to Her mann for another train and in an hour or less the wounded were in comfortable cars on their way to 'the city. It was an awful sped• tacle.---ono that appalled the stoutest heart— the dead and dying lying without shelter, save that afforded by the 'hand of 'friendship or philanthropy. exposed to a pitiless storm, and theyounded groaning from amid the ruins, and supplicating the succor of the more fortu nate. • Fitinsw•EuXorE —'Observer' (F.
